Barriers and facilitators to standardization of ultrasound use and probe disinfection in the ambulatory setting
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2020
Abstract
To determine barriers and facilitators to standardization of ultrasound probe disinfection at ambulatory sites, we conducted observations and interviews of staff. Variability was noted in disinfection practices and in the use of protective equipment even for procedures with the potential for the probe to contact sterile tissues. Standardization is needed.
